WAYS OF INTENSIFYING CLASSIFICATION YARD OPERATION

The paper deals with the solution of problems involved in assessing the effectiveness of the known (traditional) ways of increasing the handling capacity of the facilities of major classification yards and treats new methods of intensifying their operation. Authors have considered the track layouts constructional solutions and the technology of operation proposed by them for the introduction of additional technological lines for the purpose of organising the parallel humping of trains, improvement in the technology of partial processing of through trains and so on. The high effectiveness of employing new methods of intensification of classification yard operation was confirmed.
